My husband and I stayed here for a few days our 25th Anniversary Week. Ruth and Todd were excellent hosts and their place is brand new and beautiful, very clean and earth friendly/environmentally conscious. The two person shower and comfortable King Size are absolutely lovely. The place was fully stocked with everything we needed including a bit of condiments, snacks, etc. which is important with not being too near a major grocery store. There were even different kinds of bath products to choose from. Ruth also left us sparkling cider and chocolate covered macadamia nuts for our anniversary. This was a great location for heading anywhere in Volcano National Park, Green or Black Sand/Turtle Beaches, or the Southern most point of the U.S. Be aware that this is a bit more rural than the Kona or Hilo areas and so you should expect a few more bugs, etc. though never inside, as they have a great perimeter block spray that worked well. It is the lower level of the home, so every once in a while you hear the sweet puppies playing upstairs, but it was never a nuisance. Bring some Kona coffee and sit on the west lanai and enjoy the most lovely sunrises I could ever describe.
